酬 孝 甫 见 赠： 十 首
杜 甫 天 材 颇 绝 伦
每 寻 诗 卷 似 情 亲。
怜 渠 直 道 当 时 语
不 著 心 源 傍 古 人。
Chou Xiao Fu Jian Zeng: Shi Shou
Du fu tian cai po jue lun
Mei xun shi juan si qing qin.
Lian qu zhi dao dang shi yu
Bu zhu xin yuan bang gu ren.

Regard the unsurpassed abilities of Du Fu
Every search and discovery of one of his scrolls stirs my emotions.
Sympathize with his direct and honest truth of today’s situation
He does not have to write using his knowledge of the ancient ways.
